Science on Stage provides a European platform for science teachers to exchange teaching concepts and to share ideas. The ultimate goal is to improve science teaching by encouraging creativity in science teachers. Through this we will encourage more schoolchildren to consider a career in science or engineering by spreading good teaching concepts among Europe’s science teachers.

The Royal Society is the secretariat for the UK National Steering Committee, responsible for organising the UK presence at events, supporting the dissemination of practice from the European festivals, and enabling networking with teachers from other countries.

In 2015, the European festival was held in the UK at Queen Mary University of London. Information about the exhibits and posters are on the festival website.

In 2017, the European festival was held in Debrecen, Hungary, 29 June – 2 July.
